There’s no stopping Pep Guardiola. This Monday, the Iberian technician appeared again in front of the press. And once again, he was questioned about the transfer window and winter priorities. The former Bayern Munich coach was clear. “We have had difficulties on defense this season. From the start of the season, it was the back and the middle. Up front, we are more or less good, but behind, all season long, we have had difficulty. Then, it was cooked on the potential arrival of Lensois Abdukodir Khusanov. “The club has not announced anything. I don’t know”he said.
Then, Guardiola was asked how many reinforcements he expects this month. “I don’t know. What I expect from the start of the season is that the squad we started with is back. Rodri it’s impossible (that he comes back this season, editor’s note). It’s only one player, but the others are back. That’s what I wanted. If that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have gone to the transfer window this season. Absolutely not, and we would not be in the position we are in. People say it’s Rodri, but it’s not just Rodri. We have a lot of problems, especially in defense, and that’s still the case, and that’s why the club is thinking about what to do during this transfer window or this summer. The message got through.
